40+ years old, and I still get excited on opening day, even when certain teams (*cough*Cubs*cough*) have no chance this year, again.

I paid for the MLB.tv thing this year for the first time, and I plan to use it. I'm having a second monitor installed at work so I can watch games on the side. Here's hoping for a robust day game schedule.

Will this game be watchable on MLB.tv or is it going to be blacked out? I cut the cord with Comcast last year, so hoping to watch the game on my computer after getting back from a Game of Thrones viewing party.

I find it funny that the kinda-meme "ARod makes more money than the entire Astro roster" is taken more as an idictment of ARod and the excess of the Yankees, rather than an accusation of cheapness towards the Astros.

The Astros are going to be terrible but I think people are forgetting just how bad the Marlins might be when they consider Houston to be a slam-dunk as the worst team in the league. They only had 14 more wins than the Astros last year and traded away nearly every player but Stanton that got them even to that low number. Houston is in the drivers seat due to not having that one big star on the roster but Miami could easily give them a run for their money.

I kinda pay attention to these things, but I just realized this game "counts." Am I the only one who thought the season started tomorrow until, say, three minutes ago?

Are there games in Japan this year? I'll probably have other stupid questions, but can't think of any right now. I

I thought the season started tomorrow until this morning, when I went to check tomorrow's probable pitchers and found today's game listed. Even then I thought it was a late spring training game until I read who the pitchers were.

No games in Japan this year. I believe that the next official foreign MLB games are the ones set for the Netherlands in 2014 or 2015.

Why on earth is anyone booing Berkman? I can understand a guy leaving getting booed but Berkman went to the (then) other league and it made a ton of sense for the Astros. This wasn't a mid-prime guy leaving for big money to an arch-rival or soemthing.

So listening to the radio broadcast, and lots of talk about the extreme shifts the 'Stros are running. I'm guessing Bo Porter is positioning his players exactly where his stat guys tell him. I kinda like this team. Treating them like an expansion team, where it's just kind of neat to see a mash-up of has-beens, might-of-beens, never-weres, and never-will-bes.

You know, I started reading Game of Thrones in January. Just finished Feast for Crows. The first 3 books were very compelling. But as far as I can tell, nothing at all happened during the entire 4th book. No battles, fine, I get it. But there were no real status changes between the start of the book and the end. Just really boring.
